LED lights are a little more complex and achieve white light through a mixture of red, green and blue LEDS or methods similar to Fluorescents.However, an interaction with a coating on the inside of their tubes makes is visible white light that we can use. Fluorescent Lights are technically outside of our visible range, they are ultraviolet and below 400nm.Different temperatures will alter the amount that each wavelength is used. Incandescent light is radiated electromagnetic energy that is emitted across all wavelengths, when we see all wavelengths things appear white.Each one of these produces light in a different manner. Types of LightĪs a general rule your workplace will have 1 of three types of light fitting, these are light sources based on heat know as incandescent, Fluorescent lights and LED’s. When energy is emitted across all 3 of these wavelengths at once we get what we know as white light. Both have uses in different types of technology. Infrared is when the wavelength are longer that what we can see and ultraviolet when they are shorter. You may have heard the terms infrared and ultraviolet. Individual colours are present around certain wavelengths. These wavelengths exist between 400 and 700nm. Human beings have receptors that can sense particular wavelength’s and process it into images. These waves have both a wavelength and a frequency. Light is a form of electromagnetic energy that travels in waves.
#LIGHT METER HOW TO#
What is Light?įeel free to skip this section, as it isn’t vital to understanding how to measure light correctly but is useful supporting information. Measuring light comes with a few considerations this article offers a basic introduction to what light is and how it is measured along with a guide on how to use a Light Meter (Luxmeter). To the Canon Explorers of Light who give back so very much Įspecially Charles Glatzer and Art Morris.Measuring light has become a common practice in various walks of life, from making sure your employee’s are operating in safe working conditions to checking lighting levels for photography or set design. Sharing knowledge is vital because whatever knowledge we may be lucky enough to have must be passed on…It’s all about the light.’ Thanks to: All the wonderful photographers who share their time Personally, I’m very much aware that lack of humility often sounds the death knell for the things we do. Photography is a never ending experience…your best shot is the next one you take…always. So if you want to take the journey ‘down the rabbit-hole’ then, like Alice, have an open mind, question everything, assume nothing and embrace a world of possibilities. In the world of photography some things never change. Yet, at the same time a lot of what we learned then is just as applicable (if not more so) today. But now, for most, those days are long gone. Some of us developed our own work under the spell of the ‘red light’. Cost played a major part: price of a roll of film and the price of developing. Some of us tried our best and the results were often a mixed bag.

And if you weren’t a pro then the dark arts were beyond your reach. Back then it was about buying a roll of film with the appropriate ASA/ISO and the rest was down to you. ’50 years ago it was all about that four letter word ‘FILM’ and now it’s all about digital.
